Hey Cig,

I remember your boat. It's local (or was last season) to us. Do you remember what RPM and prop you were running when you hit 97? Well setup boat to hit those numbers. How was the handling with such a high X?

Who did those engines? Strong runners for sure.

I have an idea what you spent on it, this would make someone a real nice ride again all cleaned up!

I had 2 sets of props from BBLADES...But I believe the set that went 97 was the pair of 4 blade 17 7/8 x 32. I ran them between 56-5700 RPM. Revlimiter was at 6000. The Engines made power up to 5800 on Dyno Sessions. I sold the boat soon after. I was always in search of the Playboy boat that I wanted since 2001 so I moved the gun down the road. The Gun with the high X dimension was a little difficult to get on plane when conditions were calm......or huge swells. Other then that it was fine. I believe with one step up in pulley and a different wheel, the gun was easily capable of 100 at the time that I owned it. Who knows now. The advertised wheels on ebay are not the ones I had. Engines can't spin 34s unless they are small diamter. I don't know what would be gained...who knows

Well those are some great numbers , must have had some good compression but also a bunch of high end parts inside.
Shame that someone can take a beautiful well cared for boat and murder it inside a few years and then advertise it with old pics.
You know some poor sucker is going to travel halfway across the country to see it and be very disappointed.
I hate when people do that

Now any time I am interested in something with pictures, I always ask if the pictures are current. If not and the seller will not send current pictures I move on.
